🌟 Winter Commuting Alert/ Tip #6! ❄️🚗 As winter blankets Idaho in snow, driving conditions are turning snowy, demanding extra caution. Sadly, with the snow comes a concerning rise in snowplow strikes – a total of nine hits on Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) plows this season, five in just the past week.

👀 Winter commuters, it's crucial to stay vigilant, especially around these essential snow-clearing vehicles. Slow down and don't crowd the plow. Let's keep our roads and friends at ITD safe! 🌨️
